Chapter 171: Offered the Position of the Female Master of the Xiao Family

Ning Shu looked at Su Meng who was kneeling in front of her. Su Meng's expression was filled with hurt and helplessness as if she was suffering a lot.

"Su Ran, I know you hate me, but Xiao Yan has nothing to do with this. I'm begging you, please save Xiao Yan. If you'll save him, I swear to never appear in front of him again." Su Meng's expression was completely that of 'she was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of love, and was choosing to endure suffering herself in place of the person she loved.'

Ning Shu: …

She had no words to say, she seriously had no words to say.

Su Meng's face streamed with tears as she continued, "As long as you promise to let Xiao Yan off, I'll agree to break up with Xiao Yan."

Thud.

Master Xiao also knelt down in front of Ning Shu. The flesh on his face was twitching as if he had just suffered some great humiliation as he said, "Please let Xiao Yan out. If you do, in the future, you'll be the female master of the Xiao family and Xiao Yan won't ever divorce you."

When Su Meng heard this, she collapsed on the ground with an agonized and despirited expression.

Jesus ah. As of now, what benefit was there in being the Xiao family's female master? Not only was the Xiao family currently penniless, Xiao Yan was now a criminal.

Even the parents of the Xiao family had nowhere to go, so what was possibly attractive about the position of the Xiao family's female master? Why was Master Xiao still so self-confident? Did he really think other people cared about his son?

Ning Shu didn't bother responding and just called Li Xiuwen.

Li Xiuwen soon arrived. When he saw Su Meng kneeling on the ground, he hastily helped her up and asked, "Are you alright?"

Su Meng shook her head, still crying. "I'm fine. I'm just really worried about Xiao Yan."

When Su Meng said this, Ning Shu saw Li Xiuwen's face contort for a moment before it was restored to its usual gentle and considerate expression.

Was it really a good idea to bring Xiao Yan up in front of Li Xiuwen? Was it really alright for Su Meng to provoke Li Xiuwen this way?

It was fortunate for her that Li Xiuwen could endure it.

Ning Shu said to Li Xiuwen, "Tie up your family's dog properly instead of letting her run wild, alright? Look crazy she's already getting."

Li Xiuwen didn't say anything and just left with Su Meng, who was still crying, and Su Dabao, who had a dark expression on his face.

Master Xiao had been kneeling this entire time. He was already quite old and had knelt for a long time, so his legs were now completely numb. When he saw that Ning Shu paid no attention to him, his face started contorting. From the start it was humiliating for a father-in-law to kneel to the daughter-in-law, and with Master Xiao's arrogant personality, this was practically an incomparable humiliation.

That was why, though Master Xiao was kneeling, he was glaring at Ning Shu with loathing and hatred in his eyes.

Ning Shu found it unbelievable. Even a normal person wouldn't consider helping Xiao Yan when faced with Master Xiao's att.i.tude. If you were going to beg someone, you should at least maintain the right att.i.tude.

However, Ning Shu did get Xiao Yan out. It was letting Xiao Yan off to easy to have him stay in jail for two years. What if Xiao Yan's sc.u.mbag aura activated inside the prison and he ended up obtaining n number of disciples? He'd end up becoming the boss of a crime syndicate by the time he came out.

It must be remembered that Xiao Yan was this world's male lead, his luck was strong enough to send him to the sky ah. It was best to take advantage of this time while Xiao Yan had nothing to get him out, then take steps to ensure that he would never have a chance to make a comeback.

Ning Shu used quite a lot of money and connections to get Xiao Yan out. She looked at Xiao Yan who was currently in a prison uniform and bald. His handsomeness had decreased by quite a bit. It just went to show the importance of a good hairstyle.

However, Xiao Yan's eyes still contained an arrogant, despotic expression. Ning Shu had no idea where his sense of superiority came from.

When Xiao Yan saw Ning Shu, the first sentence he said was, "Su Ran, you malicious woman! I won't fall in love with you even if you save me."

Ning Shu: …

Chapter 172: Xiao Yan and Su Meng's Reunion

Xiao Yan glanced at Ning Shu coldly, then got into the car.

Ning Shu couldn't be bothered to care and simply drove back to the little neighborhood. Xiao Yan's first reaction upon entering the house was exactly the same as that of the Xiao family's parents.

The old Xiao family couple were very moved and happy to see Xiao Yan, and immediately told him about all of the hateful things Ning Shu did. Xiao Yan's eyes turned even colder as he glared at Ning Shu. When he heard that she had made his dad kneel, his eyes became filled with murderous intent.

Ning Shu just laughed coldly in response. Did he really think that all the women in the world loved him and that it was natural for them to tolerate him?

There was a gloomy air all around Xiao Yan as if he was a water dragon trapped onsh.o.r.e that had lost all hope. He locked himself in his room and refused to eat. No matter how Master and Madame Xiao tried to persuade him, he wouldn't budge.

Ning Shu looked at the food in front of the door. Since he refused to eat, then so be it. So she dumped the food into the trash can.

Madame Xiao was so angered by Ning Shu's actions that her breathing was affected, but she still didn't dare to say anything. After all, the Xiao family was currently completely relying on Ning Shu's money. If they angered her and she refused to give them money, they'd have to starve again.

There was one time that they had starved for an entire day. Madame Xiao had to drop her pride in the end and ask Ning Shu for money so that they could finally get something to eat.

That was why, every time, Madame Xiao and Master Xiao would look at Ning Shu with loath-filled gazes as if she was their tormentor, but wouldn't dare to say anything.

When Madame Xiao saw Ning Shu throw away her son's food though, she couldn't stop herself from saying, "Su Ran, how could you be so cruel? How could you threw away his food? He hasn't eaten even once since he got out!"

Ning Shu gave a cold humph. "Since he doesn't want to eat, then he can just starve."

"You…" Madame Xiao looked at Ning Shu. "You'll face retribution."

Ning Shu replied coldly, "Whether I'll face retribution or not isn't something that I'll know about, but I know that you'll soon face retribution."

When Madame Xiao heard this, she trembled. However, since she still wanted to get money from Ning Shu, she could only stifle her anger.

In the end, Xiao Yan couldn't take the hunger anymore and came out to eat. Ning Shu personally handed him food, but Xiao Yan responded by laughing coldly and saying disdainfully, "Su Ran, no matter how you try to curry favor with me, my opinion of you won't change."

Then he took the bowl from Ning Shu's hands like he was doing her a favor before starting to eat. However, because he rushed too much in eating, he started choking. His current appearance, with his bald head… It was really quite wretched.

As Ning Shu watched, she smiled coldly. You should pray that you'll still be able to stay well after eating this meal.

When Su Meng heard that Xiao Yan had gotten out, she came over with her two children. When she saw Xiao Yan, her lips trembled, then she threw herself into his arms. As she reached out to stroke Xiao Yan's bald head, she said in a trembling voice, "You've suffered."

Ning Shu was almost about to die from laughter. Why was this scene so d.a.m.ned comedic?

Li Xiuwen was standing not far away. His expression was very complicated as he watched the two hug. His facial color changed so much that Ning Shu couldn't even find the adjectives to describe it.

The two children started crying as they held onto Xiao Yan, so Xiao Yan was busily coaxing all of them.

Xiao Yan said to Su Meng earnestly, "I'll pull myself together. I have to, so that you and the children have someone to rely on."

Tears streamed down Su Meng's face as she covered her mouth and shook her head. Xiao Yan was fl.u.s.tered by her response. "I won't let you and the children suffer, I promise."

Su Meng still continued crying silently. Then she glanced towards Ning Shu with an agonized expression.

Xiao Yan noticed Su Meng's glance and immediately turned to shout at Ning Shu. "You malicious woman, what did you do to Su Meng!?"
